I watch several premium TV shows, but since I'm cheap, I only subscribe to the Premium channels a few months per year. Called D* tonight to see if they had any specials and scored all 4 movie channels (HBO, SHO, MAX, STARZ) for $25 per month for the next 3 months.

Currently downloading via VOD the following most recent seasons:

Game of Thrones
Nurse Jackie
Veep
Hunted
Banshee
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
Spartacus: Vengeance
Spartacus: War of the Damned
Da Vinci's Demons

Also, the first three episodes of Dexter and the first episode of The Newsroom (and set up my series recordings for the rest of them).

I should be good until January or February when I do it again.

Man, I love Video On Demand.

Make sure you check the watch by dates. They don't let you keep the shows forever. And I'm not sure if those shows are available once you cancel your sub to that channel.

See my post above. They don't let you keep the shows a full year. Only a couple of months usually. For instance, I downloaded the first S2 episode of The Newsroom, and I had to watch it by 10/1.

I think the point is you pick a couple months a year and watch everything, on demand, during those months, and don't pay for the channels the other, say, 9 months. You could, for example, pay for premiums in June, July and August and watch everything since September of the prior year.
